The tweet calls her a mysterious "onee-san" but keep in mind "onee-san" is often used in Japan to refer to an older peer. She isn't necessarily a blood relative of anybody, so we'll just have to wait until next week's update.

^Judging by her looks, it's clearly their daughter who has traveled back in time to help them get over their uselessness.

My money is on the '' older sister who's living overseas and has come to visit Mitsuki after not seeing her for a long while'' trope. She's emancipated in the very open way a young Japanese woman is less likely to be (lots of flashy tattoos and piercings, smoking), so the living overseas part would make sense IMO. It's a giant cliche but Arai-sensei might be able to make it interesting.

I think she could be a new regular at the store or someone from a band.

Finally, this series will retrieve the spark it lost once Aya found out about Mitsuki being the cd store "guy" and from then on it just became "fluffy missunderstanding blushing" yuri

There will be drama!
Because she happens to be an actress in a TV drama!
That would be hilarious for a character,the only source of drama is all fictional in this fictional tale of good music.

There's been teasing lately about the blank career paper and her being the same age as when the uncle was in his "hoodlum" phase and his general worry about her growing up. Now a cool looking woman appears? I'm thinking she will be an outside influence in music scene. That said I'd still welcome a long lost family member. We know so little about her family for a reason I assume and she's come into her uncle's care very early it looks.

She sold 150,000 copies in a week, is getting a reprint, and when posting this illustration said she was on a business trip so I can imagine an English language publisher would be at least interested.
